The Chronicle’s editors have been unusually quiet recently about the world of poker and cozen. However, having some time on their hands, and giving great thought to the topic (reading Twitter), it is time to tackle the @DanBilzerian / GG issue. Should GG have signed him as an ambassador? Short answer, yes. We know this…
Stones Postle Kuraitis Brill
Way back when, the Chronicle wrote about the allegations against Stones Gambling Hall , Justin K, and Mike P. by Veronica B. (and others, eventually). Our conclusion at that time was to wait and see what a neutral party (the court) had to say. The court spoke: “We aren’t going to play this game”. The…
Not JUST Rude….
Here at the Chronicle we implore the poker community to police itself as a whole when it comes to out-of-control obnoxious behavior. One theory (ours) is that there is not a lot for the poker industry to opine about on various media. In reality there is not much excitement surrounding poker for the masses. It…
The New Poker – Yay or Nay?
Las Vegas finally hit the target date: June 4th. 3 or 4 poker rooms in Las Vegas have opened. Yipee, we are back! Just kidding! We are not back. There are two types of players going to live games right now: short-handed specialists and the local grinders. Flynn and Ollie are not back. Flynn and…
Poker on the Tube
Desperate times call for desperate measures. The Flynn-ster has resorted to watching poker on TV. Of course, there is no new poker on TV, so this means watching what is available on YouTube or various network TV channels. It’s all old stuff. We’ve seen a lot of it already, so yeah, we already know who…
A Bird & Otter Enter a Casino
A short story. Flynn stumbled toward the restroom entrance, just as Ollie was exiting, both swerved to miss each other and narrowly missed the two men in the switchback alcove having a quiet conversation. Ollie stopped suddenly and spun towards them. The older man was wearing a casino uniform. The other one was dressed like…
Speculation: The Fate of Poker
Flynn & Ollie miss hearing about hand histories, character descriptions, trip reports, and room reviews. Flynn’s favorite past time (drinking at a poker table) has been sidelined for the good of the humans. As the weeks march on, more and more people are speculating on the fate of live poker; in both remote card rooms…
The Closure of Las Vegas
As Flynn alluded to in the previous poker post, Flynn and Ollie were in Las Vegas during it’s last operating days. Frankly, it can only be described as surreal, from a regular visitor’s point of view. F&O were in Las Vegas for 3 nights, 4 full days. Arrival Wed morning 3/11, Day 1: nothing had…
F & O Play at Aria and More…
Okay, so it went like this: On the morning of day 2 of the Vegas portion of the trip, despite very much enjoying the hotel, the poker, and the weather, Flynn began to wonder. Wonder about all sorts of stuff, but mostly about how prudent was it really to stay in town for a week?…
Suprise! F&O back in Vegas
Flynn and Ollie have spent the past 10 days in the sunny state of Florida. They had a fabulous time, and if the editors of the Chronicle ever got their act together, they may finish the travel articles about it. But, now for the important stuff: Las Vegas: poker updates and so forth. Prior to…
